  5. After 2-3 minutes put the cashew nuts and finally the tomato after fry for a minute.
  6. Cover the lid and fry till the vegetables and cashew nuts are properly cooked. Let it rest for a while and cool it down.
  7. Once cooled grind it into a smooth paste. Make sure that the paste is smooth.
  8. Finally transfer the paste in a Microwave safe bowl and add 2 tsp of butter and roasted kasturi methi and microwave it on high power for 2 - 3minutes. Finally add fresh cream and the gravy is ready.
